My Ride: BMW 530i E60 2004
Default Bmw e60 cic retrofit fsc import

Hello friends.
Really hope you can help me.
I have a BMW E60 Pre LCI from 2004, where I have retrofitted the CIC professional, everything works, I have coded it to the car frame number, all functions work, no errors!
But my navigation needs to be activated, I have generated the FCS code for my car's chassis number.
But how do I put this in?
What cable should I use, and what program, possibly a guide, or maybe someone who can remotely support?

In advance thank you.

If you've retrofitted it yourself there's a fair bit of work that has to take place before you can enter in the FSC for your car. I did this retrofit last year myself and had to use quite a few tools to virginize it. Did you add the USB port to the glove box? There is a script you have to put on a USB drive in there that allows you to access the system so that you can change it's VIN to match your car's and then you can start to enable features. Your CIC needs to be on the latest version (c1a I believe) for the script to work. I couldn't find all the documentation that I needed in one spot so it took me many many hours to figure it all out and I unfortunately didn't write it all down as I didn't figure I'd ever be doing it again.

Thank you for your answers.
But think you have misunderstood the post.
I have already changed the win and coded it for my car, as well as flashed the scrtips. And yes USB in glove compartment is of course fitted.
FSC for my WIN is also generated, only need to get them entered in CIC unit.
So in short, the CIC is matched with my car, and can now be seen as equipment.

I never had to enter an FSC until I upgraded my maps to a new version. When I used the scripts and unlocked the navigation feature it worked fine. When I uploaded a new map it asked for an FSC and gave me an interface where I could select letters and numbers to enter it in.

you enter the upgrade code, not FSC. When you are missing FSC, navigation option won't be available.

Exactly, that's what I meant, because that's how it is on the F series.

Here you can see what I mean. Either way, Navi must be activated with code before it works.

I basically followed that document when I did it. Had a heck of a time getting step 15 to work. Every time I tried to apply the FSC (there were basically 4 jobs: STORE_FSCS_CERT, CHECK_FSCS_CERT, STORE_FSC, CHECK_FSC) 0,1, 2, or 3 of the 4 jobs would complete successfully and at least one would fail. I probably hit execute 100 times or more until I saw all 4 go, and then Navigation started to work. I never got the voice navigation piece working, but since I don't use the OEM navigation anyway I don't really care. I use CarPlay all the time instead.
